Juvenile Delinquents... The drive was rather couthy; but our destination was not- A cemetery. I was travelling with Steve McRoul, a sixteen year old, jolly, ardent, committed and inquisitive poet. His poems were acclaimed all over the world. I was ambivalent of the reason- why were we travelling to a graveyard? “Time would tell,” Steve answered discreetly. McRoul had given me a story- the sole story written by him- to read. The smooth road and the cloudy sky gave me an ethical reason to sail…
Guns Don't Kill People, People Kill People Throughout United States history there has been a constant debate on gun control. Should guns be banned even though it is one of our civil rights infringed upon us by our founding fathers or to ban it because of the events that have transpired in modern time? Either way gun laws have become progressively strict based on various shootings, massacres, and deaths across the nation. America's gun culture stems from colonial history and revolutionary roots.…
In the story “The lizard Who had the Habit of Dining on His Wives” by Eduardo Galeano, women's empowerment is manifested by the figurative destruction of a predator creature by a girl wearing glasses who is educated, strong and independent. Her empowerment was in large part due to her feminist attributes which, while contrary to the attributes of the other women he had been with, the lizard man found very alluring.

commonly used to describe beautiful beloved women in other sonnets almost make the mistress sound like an “unlovable” person (10).

At this…
simple plot and makes a compelling feature-length black comedy. 1. Aruvi (Arun Prabhu Purushothaman, Tamil) “Aruvi” is an impressive directorial debut by Purushothaman featuring an extraordinary debut by Aditi Balan as the titular character. The film treads through the fine lines between a socio-political satire, a heist thriller and a family drama, never settling for any one of the genres and yet almost never goes out of hand. Handling many social issues with a maturity that is seldom seen in…

the lives of their wives to their own ways of living. Stella can “hardly stand it when [Stanley] is away for a night”, implying a form of sexual dependence on Stella’s part on her husband, who represents the typically masculine, if so masculine it treads into the animalistic. This dependence of Stella on the aggressive sexuality of her husband exemplifies her refusal to acknowledge her status in the relationship, as the marriage being “something [she] wants to get out of”, to be married to an…

The stage directions reveal to the reader that “The street door below is forced open. We hear heavy tread of footsteps coming up. Mr. Frank gets two school bags from the shelves and gives want to Anne and the other to Margot. He goes to get a bag for Mrs. Frank” (Goodrich and Hackett 433). Goodrich and Hackett left out the part of how the SS officer…

Betrayal is the breaking of confidence or trust in a relationship of any kind. It is also a common topic for artist to sing songs about. They can sing about being betrayed by a friend or a significant other, and it can even go as far as feeling betrayed by the entire world.

In this song Winehouse talks about how her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil and how he betrayed her by leaving her and going back to his…
